James and Albus woke up at 6:00 in the morning, a week into the term. Some of their lessons were boring, like History of Magic, but other ones were actually exciting like Charms. In the girls' dormitory, Lily did the same. They had Quidditch tryouts that morning at 7:30. The first year rule had been repealed by McGonagall, and they wanted to be the first 1st years to make the team since their father 24 years before.

They quickly dressed and went down to the broom closet. They found their Firebolts and started flying around passing the Quaffle around and catching the Snitch. When the Quidditch captain, James Wood, arrived at the pitch, he was surprised that he'd been beaten there. He'd inherited Oliver's love for Quidditch and was at the pitch as much as possible. He called them down and told them to wait for the rest of the people trying out.

When the others arrived, Wood told them to find partners and fly around the pitch while throwing a duplicate of the Quaffle around. James was with Albus and Lily was with their cousin Victorie. The four of them passed around the Quaffle like naturals, even showing off by throwing the Quaffle to a cousin or sibling in the other pair. They landed in front of Wood, who was amazed with their flying skills. He dismissed some people who didn't do as well.

The Potters and Victorie were all trying out for Seeker and Chaser. They, along with all of the others trying out for Chaser, tried to put a goal through while Wood defended the goals. Wood was as good a Keeper as his father, but the four were still able to put quite a few through the posts. He eventually gave Victorie, Albus, and Lily the positions as Chaser, with James as the reserve.

"Nice job you three", said James

"Cheer up, you'll win Seeker still", said Lily

"I hope so", he said a little more brightly

The three that had already made the team didn't try out for Seeker. Wood threw Muggle golf balls all over the place. Only 5 people caught all of them, including James. He then freed the Snitch and gave them 15 minutes to catch it. Only James caught it, nearly falling off of his broom as he did. The four sat in the stands and watched the Beater tryouts. Barry Coote and John Peakes, two 2nd years got the spots on the team. Wood announced that the first practice would be at 7:45 P.M. the next day.

"Nice job as Seeker James", said Victorie

"Thanks, I'm the same as the last James Potter"

"Oh, you mean an arrogant, wretched, toerag?", said Lily teasingly

"Shut up, we should write a letter to Mum and Dad, you should too Victorie"

They went off to write the letter in the common room and sent it off with Hedwig ll, James' owl.

At the Potters' house

Harry, Ginny, James, and Lily were sitting around the table talking when Hedwig ll came through the window. Ginny took the letter and read it aloud.

Dear Mum and Dad,

James, Lily, and I made the Gryffindor Quidditch team. We're the first 1st years since dad to make the team. Lily and I are Chasers, the other one is Victorie. James is the Seeker, like did and grandpa.

Lots of Love,

Albus

The three Quidditch players whooped and high-fived a lot, while Lily sat there and watched, amused.

"Yay, James is following Harry and I's path as Seekers"

"Albus and Lily are Chasers", said Ginny

After a lot of celebrating, Lily and James went home and Harry and Ginny went to sleep.

"Harry, do you think they'll be as good as we are?"

"Of course, when both of your parents are excellent Quidditch players, you always are the best", he said, kissing her forehead.

Within 5 minutes, Ginny was asleep in Harry's arms.
